Hello there, my name is Kunyi Zhang (张焜怡).

I am passionate about multi-sensor fusion, state estimation, and autonomous navigation for robotics.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering from School of Mechanical and Power Engineering and my Bachelor’s Degree in Science from School of Mathematics at East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) in 2016.

I then started my master’s program and a successive doctoral program at College of Control Science and Engineering (CSE) at ZheJiang University (ZJU) in 2017.

Recently, I received my Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Information Engineering under the supervision of Associate Prof. Fei Gao and Prof. Chao Xu at ZJU Fast Lab in 2023.

I used to work as an intern in the mapping group of Autonomous Driving Lab at Alibaba DAMO Academy (2022.01-2022.11). Now, I am working as an intern at Zhejiang Yangtze River Delta Feiyang Intelligent Technology Center in the Collaborative Technology Department (2022.08-now).
